Why would Residents want to "decorate" their Letterboxes.... often very attractive letterboxes I might add with captions such as NO JUNK MAIL, NO ADVERTISING MATERIAL, ADDRESSED MAIL ONLY...there are probably others that I may have missed... and in doing so create the immediate impression that they prefer to lead a sheltered life, to remain unchallenged and not even remotely open to opportunities that may present themselves from time to time via this most basic Portal.
